This program offers a rigorous approach to the physical and verbal command of dance vocabulary, requiring the student to formulate aesthetic insights and apply them in the contexts of individual works, stylistic traditions, and historical and cultural awareness. The program emphasizes the importance of dance education as applied to pedagogical systems, theorizations of performance practices, an analysis of movement and its implications in a variety of arenas, and the emerging relationships between dance and media. BA candidates are given a solid foundation in dance technique and a balanced approach to coursework to facilitate the three concentrations in body, science, and motion; dance and media; and teaching dance arts. The curriculum is comprehensive, forward thinking, and pragmatic in its approach to future studies and careers in dance-related fields. It is nonperformance based and has the flexibility to meet the needs of dance students, dance professionals seeking a degree, and those interested in pursuing a double major in a related field.
